OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Daughter will be going to Pensacola for Air Traffic Controller school and I have some questions.
I know I'm planning ahead but that is the type of person I am. My daughter leaves for boot camp in March then she will be going to ATC school in Pensacola after that but I just what to get some insight on a few things.
First off, I wanted to know if there are a lot of girls attending this school? From what I have read schooling seems pretty intense. Is this true? My daughter is quite intelligent so I know that she will do well but it's nice to be prepared for long days of classes and long nights of studying.
Can we plan a trip to go to visit her while she is in school? Can she leave base on the weekends?
If we can, does anyone know of a nice, affordable place to stay.(in Pensacola) We are also planning on going to Pensacola when she graduates from school so we would like to keep our expenses as low as we can for each visit. Mind you, we will already have flown to the Great Lakes for her graduation from boot camp.
Thanks for all the tips and advise.
